Abstract
Sesamin is a major lignan in sesame seeds, and a recent meta-analysis of controlled trials indicated that sesamin intake decreases blood pressure. The antihypertensive effect of sesamin has been suggested to be due to sesamin-mediated suppression of 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid production catalyzed by CYP4F2. However, the detailed mechanism underlying inhibition of CYP4F2 function by sesamin remains unclear. In this study, the effects of sesamin on catalytic activity of CYP4F2 were investigated in vitro. Sesamin inhibited luciferin-4F2/3 O-dealkylase activity of recombinant human CYP4F2 with an IC50 value of 0.381 µM. When preincubated in the presence of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) for 20 min, sesamin potentiated the inhibition of CYP4F2 activity. Moreover, kinetic analysis of the inactivation revealed that sesamin showed a preincubation time- and concentration-dependent inhibition of CYP4F2 activity yielding a maximal inactivation rate constant (kinact) value of 0.354 min-1 and half-maximal inhibitory concentration (KI) value of 1.12 µM. The inactivation of CYP4F2 by sesamin required NADPH. These results indicated that sesamin is a mechanism-based inactivator of human CYP4F2.

Abstract
LTB4 is an inflammatory lipid mediator mainly biosynthesized by leukocytes. Since its implication in inflammatory diseases is well recognized, many tools to regulate its biosynthesis have been developed and showed promising results in vitro and in vivo, but mixed results in clinical trials. Recently, the mTOR pathway component p70S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1) has been linked to LTC4 synthase and the biosynthesis of cysteinyl-leukotrienes. In this respect, we investigated if p70S6K1 could also play a role in LTB4 biosynthesis. We thus evaluated the impact of the p70S6K1 inhibitors PF-4708671 and LY2584702 on LTB4 biosynthesis in human neutrophils. At a concentration of 10 μM, both compounds inhibited S6 phosphorylation, although neither one inhibited the thapsigargin-induced LTB4 biosynthesis, as assessed by the sum of LTB4, 20-OH-LTB4, and 20-COOH-LTB4. However, PF-4708671, but not LY2584702, inhibited the ω-oxidation of LTB4 into 20-OH-LTB4 by intact neutrophils and by recombinant CYP4F3A, leading to increased LTB4 levels. This was true for both endogenously biosynthesized and exogenously added LTB4. In contrast to that of 17-octadecynoic acid, the inhibitory effect of PF-4708671 was easily removed by washing the neutrophils, indicating that PF-4708671 was a reversible CYP4F3A inhibitor. At optimal concentration, PF-4708671 increased the half-life of LTB4 in our neutrophil suspensions by 7.5 fold, compared to 5 fold for 17-octadecynoic acid. Finally, Michaelis-Menten and Lineweaver-Burk plots indicate that PF-4708671 is a mixed inhibitor of CYP4F3A. In conclusion, we show that PF-4708671 inhibits CYP4F3A and prevents the ω-oxidation of LTB4 in cellulo, which might result in increased LTB4 levels in vivo.

Abstract
6-Octadecynoic acid (6-ODA), a fatty acid with a triple bond, was identified in the methanol extract of Marrubium vulgare L. as an agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ). Fibrogenesis caused by hepatic stellate cells is inhibited by PPARγ whose ligands are clinically used for the treatment of diabetes. Plant extracts of Marrubium vulgare L., were screened for activity to inhibit fibrosis in the hepatic stellate cell line HSC-T6 using Oil Red-O staining, which detects lipids that typically accumulate in quiescent hepatic stellate cells. A methanol extract with activity to stimulate accumulation of lipids was obtained. This extract was found to have PPARγ agonist activity using a luciferase reporter assay. After purification using several chromatographic methods, 6-ODA, a fatty acid with a triple bond, was identified as a candidate of PPARγ agonist. Synthesized 6-ODA and its derivative 9-octadecynoic acid (9-ODA), which both have a triple bond but in different positions, activated PPARγ in a luciferase reporter assay and increased lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes in a PPARγ-dependent manner. There is little information about the biological activity of fatty acids with a triple bond, and to our knowledge, this is the first report that 6-ODA and 9-ODA function as PPARγ agonists.

Abstract
2-Alkynoic fatty acids display antimycobacterial, antifungal, and pesticidal activities but their antiprotozoal activity has received little attention. In this work we synthesized the 2-octadecynoic acid (2-ODA), 2-hexadecynoic acid (2-HDA), and 2-tetradecynoic acid (2-TDA) and show that 2-ODA is the best inhibitor of the Leishmania donovani DNA topoisomerase IB enzyme (LdTopIB) with an EC(50)=5.3±0.7μM. The potency of LdTopIB inhibition follows the trend 2-ODA>2-HDA>2-TDA, indicating that the effectiveness of inhibition depends on the fatty acid carbon chain length. All of the studied 2-alkynoic fatty acids were less potent inhibitors of the human topoisomerase IB enzyme (hTopIB) as compared to LdTopIB. 2-ODA also displayed in vitro activity against Leishmania donovani (IC(50)=11.0μM), but it was less effective against other protozoa, Trypanosoma cruzi (IC(50)=48.1μM) and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (IC(50)=64.5μM). The antiprotozoal activity of the 2-alkynoic fatty acids, in general, followed the trend 2-ODA>2-HDA>2-TDA. The experimental information gathered so far indicates that 2-ODA is a promising antileishmanial compound.

Abstract
Although protein S-palmitoylation was first characterized >30 years ago, and is implicated in the function, trafficking, and localization of many proteins, little is known about the regulation and physiological implications of this posttranslational modification. Palmitoylation of various signaling proteins required for TCR-induced T cell activation is also necessary for their proper function. Linker for activation of T cells (LAT) is an essential scaffolding protein involved in T cell development and activation, and we found that its palmitoylation is selectively impaired in anergic T cells. The recent discovery of the DHHC family of palmitoyl acyl transferases and the establishment of sensitive and quantitative proteomics-based methods for global analysis of the palmitoyl proteome led to significant progress in studying the biology and underlying mechanisms of cellular protein palmitoylation. We are using these approaches to explore the palmitoyl proteome in T lymphocytes and, specifically, the mechanistic basis for the impaired palmitoylation of LAT in anergic T cells. This chapter reviews the history of protein palmitoylation and its role in T cell activation, the DHHC family and new methodologies for global analysis of the palmitoyl proteome, and summarizes our recent work in this area. The new methodologies will accelerate the pace of research and provide a greatly improved mechanistic and molecular understanding of the complex process of protein palmitoylation and its regulation, and the substrate specificity of the novel DHHC family. Reversible protein palmitoylation will likely prove to be an important posttranslational mechanism that regulates cellular responses, similar to protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination.

Abstract
The widespread use of statins for hypercholesterolemia has uncovered pleiotropic anti-inflammatory properties that were unexpected based on the drugs' original design; yet, mechanisms for these protective actions remain uncertain. In this study lovastatin triggered biosynthesis of the anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediator 15-epi-lipoxin A(4) (15-epi-LXA(4)). During interactions between human neutrophils and airway epithelial cells, the statin-induced increase in 15-epi-LXA(4) was associated with increased 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (14,15-EET) generation. When added to activated neutrophils, 14,15-EET enhanced 15-epi-LXA(4) biosynthesis. In a murine model of airway mucosal injury and inflammation, lovastatin increased 15-epi-LXA(4) formation in vivo and markedly decreased acute lung inflammation. Administration of 15-epi-LXA(4) also inhibited lung inflammation in an additive manner with lovastatin. Together, these results indicate that statin-triggered 15-epi-LXA(4) generation during human leukocyte-airway epithelial cell interactions is an endogenous mechanism for statin-mediated tissue protection at mucosal surfaces that may also be relevant in the statins' ability to stimulate the resolution of inflammation.

Abstract
S-palmitoylation is a pervasive post-translational modification required for the trafficking, compartmentalization and membrane tethering of many proteins. We demonstrate that the commercially available compound 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA) can serve as a bioorthogonal, click chemistry probe for in situ labeling, identification and verification of palmitoylated proteins in human cells. We identified approximately 125 predicted palmitoylated proteins, including G proteins, receptors and a family of uncharacterized hydrolases whose plasma membrane localization depends on palmitoylation.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) omega-oxidases convert arachidonic acid (AA) to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a lipid mediator that modulates vascular tone. We observed that a microsomal preparation containing recombinant human CYP4F3B, which converts AA to 20-HETE, converted eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to 20-OH-EPA. Likewise, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) was converted to 22-OH-DHA, indicating that human CYP4F3B also can oxidize 22-carbon omega-3 fatty acids. Consistent with these findings, addition of 0.5-5 microM EPA, DHA or omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) to incubations containing 0.5 microM [3H]AA inhibited [3H]20-HETE production by 15-65%. [3H]20-OH-EPA was rapidly taken up by COS-7 cells, and almost all of the incorporated radioactivity remained as unmodified 20-OH-EPA. The 20-OH-EPA stimulated luciferase activity in COS-7 cells that express peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha, indicating that this EPA metabolite may function as a lipid mediator. These findings suggest that some functional effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation may be due to inhibition of 20-HETE formation or the conversion of EPA to the corresponding omega-oxidized product.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 4F (CYP4F) subfamily has over the last few years come to be recognized for its dual role in modulating the concentrations of eicosanoids during inflammation as well as in the metabolism of clinically significant drugs. The first CYP4F was identified because it catalyzed the hydroxylation of leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) and since then many additional members of this subfamily have been documented for their distinct catalytic roles and functional significance. Recent evidence emerging in relation to the temporal change of CYP4F expression in response to injury and infection supports an important function for these isozymes in curtailing inflammation. Their tissue-dependent expression, isoform-based catalytic competence and unique response to the external stimuli imply a critical role for them to regulate organ-specific functions. From this standpoint variations in relative CYP4F levels in humans may have direct influence on the metabolic outcome through their ability to generate and/or degrade bioactive eicosanoids or therapeutic agents. This review covers the enzymatic characteristics and regulatory properties of human and rodent CYP4F isoforms and their physiological relevance to major pathways in eicosanoid and drug metabolism.

Abstract
Patients suffering from Refsum disease have a defect in the alpha-oxidation pathway which results in the accumulation of phytanic acid in plasma and tissues. Our previous studies have shown that phytanic acid is also a substrate for the omega-oxidation pathway. With the use of specific inhibitors we now show that members of the cytochrome P450 (CYP450) family 4 class are responsible for phytanic acid omega-hydroxylation. Incubations with microsomes containing human recombinant CYP450s (Supersomes) revealed that multiple CYP450 enzymes of the family 4 class are able to omega-hydroxylate phytanic acid with the following order of efficiency: CYP4F3A>CYP4F3B>CYP4F2>CYP4A11.

Abstract
Leukotriene B(4) (LTB(4)) is a potent chemoattractant for polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and other cells. Human PMN inactivate LTB(4) by omega-oxidation catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 4F3A. The contribution of the enzymatic inactivation of LTB(4) by CYP4Fs to down-regulating functional responses of cells to LTB(4) is unknown. To elucidate the role of CYP4F-mediated inactivation of LTB(4) in terminating the responses of PMN to LTB(4) and to identify a target for future genetic studies in mice, we have identified the enzyme that catalyzes the omega-1 and omega-2 oxidation of LTB(4) in mouse myeloid cells as CYP4F18. As determined by mass spectrometry, this enzyme catalyzes the conversion of LTB(4) to 19-OH LTB(4) and to a lesser extent 18-OH LTB(4). Inhibition of CYP4F18 resulted in a marked increase in calcium flux and a 220% increase in the chemotactic response of mouse PMN to LTB(4). CYP4F18 expression was induced in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells by bacterial lipopolysaccharide, a ligand for TLR4, and by poly(I.C), a ligand for TLR3. However, when bone marrow-derived myeloid dendritic cells trafficked to popliteal lymph nodes from paw pads, the expression of CYP4F18 was down-regulated. The results identify CYP4F18 as a critical protein in the regulation of LTB(4) metabolism and functional responses in mouse PMN and identify it as the functional orthologue of human PMN CYP4F3A.

Abstract
Recent studies with cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes from the 2E and 2B subfamilies have shed light on what may be a new trend in the mechanism-based inactivation of P450s: reversibility. The reversible inactivation of P450-type enzymes was first reported in the mid-1990s by Dexter and Hager [Dexter AF and Hager LP (1995) J Am Chem Soc 117:817-818], who studied the transient heme N-alkylation of chloroperoxidase by allylbenzene and 1-hexyne. While characterizing small tert-butyl acetylenes as mechanism-based inactivators of P450s 2E1 and 2B4, Hollenberg and coworkers observed the reversible inactivation of an acetylene-inactivated T303A mutant of P450 2E1. The mechanism of reversibility was a combined product of the structure of the inactivator and the positioning of conserved amino acid residues, threonine 303 (alanine in the mutant) and glutamate 302, in the enzyme active site. Reversibility was also observed with both wild-type P450 2B4 and the T302A mutant of 2B4, although this inactivation and reversibility did not seem to depend on the T302 residue. Subsequent studies have attempted to elucidate the chemical/structural requirements of the inactivator in determining reversibility and have shown that both the size and the chemical nature of functional groups play an important role. At this time, reversibility has only been observed with P450 2E and 2B enzymes during their mechanism-based inactivation by terminal alkynes. Future studies with P450s from other subfamilies and structurally distinct inactivators will greatly aid our understanding of the molecular and chemical determinants of reversibility.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to elucidate human intestinal cytochrome P450 isoform(s) involved in the metabolism of an antihistamine, ebastine, having two major pathways of hydroxylation and N-dealkylation. The ebastine dealkylase in human intestinal microsomes was CYP3A4, based on the inhibition studies with antibodies against CYP1A, CYP2A, CYP2C, CYP2D, CYP2E, and CYP3A isoforms and their selective inhibitors. However, ebastine hydroxylase could not be identified. We then examined the inhibitory effects of anti-CYP4F antibody and 17-octadecynoic acid, an inhibitor of the CYP4 family, on ebastine hydroxylation in intestinal microsomes, since CYP4F was recently found to be the predominant ebastine hydroxylase in monkey intestine; and a novel CYP4F isoform (CYP4F12), also capable of hydroxylating ebastine, was found to exist in human intestine. However, the inhibitory effects were only partial (about 20%) and thus it was thought that, although human CYP4F was involved in ebastine hydroxylation, another predominant enzyme exists. Further screening showed that the hydroxylation was inhibited by arachidonic acid. CYP2J2 was selected as a candidate expressed in the intestine and closely related to arachidonic acid metabolism. The catalytic activity of recombinant CYP2J2 was much higher than that of CYP4F12. Anti-CYP2J antibody inhibited the hydroxylation to about 70% in human intestinal microsomes. These results demonstrate that CYP2J2 is the predominant ebastine hydroxylase in human intestinal microsomes. Thus, the present paper for the first time indicates that, in human intestinal microsomes, both CYP2J and CYP4F subfamilies not only metabolize endogenous substrates but also are involved in the drug metabolism.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated that arachidonic acid is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P-450 (CYP) enzymes in the brain, lung, kidney, and peripheral vasculature to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and that these compounds play critical roles in the regulation of renal, pulmonary, and cardiac function and vascular tone. EETs are endothelium-derived vasodilators that hyperpolarize vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells by activating K(+) channels. 20-HETE is a vasoconstrictor produced in VSM cells that reduces the open-state probability of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels. Inhibitors of the formation of 20-HETE block the myogenic response of renal, cerebral, and skeletal muscle arterioles in vitro and autoregulation of renal and cerebral blood flow in vivo. They also block tubuloglomerular feedback responses in vivo and the vasoconstrictor response to elevations in tissue PO(2) both in vivo and in vitro. The formation of 20-HETE in VSM is stimulated by angiotensin II and endothelin and is inhibited by nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Blockade of the formation of 20-HETE attenuates the vascular responses to angiotensin II, endothelin, norepinephrine, NO, and CO. In the kidney, EETs and 20-HETE are produced in the proximal tubule and the thick ascending loop of Henle. They regulate Na(+) transport in these nephron segments. 20-HETE also contributes to the mitogenic effects of a variety of growth factors in VSM, renal epithelial, and mesangial cells. The production of EETs and 20-HETE is altered in experimental and genetic models of hypertension, diabetes, uremia, toxemia of pregnancy, and hepatorenal syndrome. Given the importance of this pathway in the control of cardiovascular function, it is likely that CYP metabolites of arachidonic acid contribute to the changes in renal function and vascular tone associated with some of these conditions and that drugs that modify the formation and/or actions of EETs and 20-HETE may have therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Cytochrome P4504A4 (CYP4A4) is a hormonally induced pulmonary cytochrome P450 which metabolizes prostaglandins and arachidonic acid (AA) to their omega-hydroxylated products. Although the physiological function of this enzyme is unknown, prostaglandins play an important role in the regulation of reproductive, vascular, intestinal, and inflammatory systems and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid, the omega-hydroxylated product of arachidonate, is a potent vasoconstrictor. Therefore, it is important to obtain sufficient quantities of the protein for kinetic and biophysical characterization. A CYP4A4 construct was prepared and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was purified, and its activity with substrates prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) and AA was examined in the presence and absence of cytochrome b(5) (cyt b(5)) and with a heme-depleted form of cyt b(5) (apo b(5)). The stimulatory role played by cyt b(5) in this system is not dependent on electron transfer from cyt b(5) to the CYP4A4 as similar stimulation was observed with apo b(5). Rapid kinetic measurement of CYP4A4 electron transfer rates confirmed this result. Both flavin and heme reduction rates were constant in the absence and presence of cyt b(5) or apo b(5). CD spectroscopy demonstrated that a conformational change occurred in CYP4A4 protein upon binding of cyt b(5) or apo b(5). Finally, acetylenic fatty acid inhibitors 17-octadecynoic acid, 12-hydroxy-16-heptadecynoic acid, 15-hexadecynoic acid, and 10-undecynoic acid (10-UDYA) were used to probe the substrate-binding pocket of CYP4A4. The short-chain fatty acid inhibitor 10-UDYA was unable to inhibit either PGE(1) or AA metabolism. All but 10-UDYA were effective inhibitors of CYP4A4.

Abstract
1. Arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent pathways to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in the kidney and the peripheral vasculature. 2. The present short review summarizes the renal and cardiovascular actions of these important mediators. 3. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids are vasodilators produced by the endothelium that hyperpolarize vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells by opening Ca2+-activated K+ (KCa) channels. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid is a vasoconstrictor that inhibits the opening of KCa channels in VSM cells. Cytochrome P450 4A inhibitors block the myogenic response of small arterioles to elevations in transmural pressure and autoregulation of renal and cerebral blood flow in vivo. Cytochrome P450 4A blockers also attenuate the vasoconstrictor response to elevations in tissue PO2, suggesting that this system may serve as a vascular oxygen sensor. Nitric oxide and carbon monoxide inhibit the formation of 20-HETE and a fall in 20-HETE levels contributes to the activation of KCa channels in VSM cells and the vasodilator response to these gaseous mediators. 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid also mediates the inhibitory actions of peptide hormones on sodium transport in the kidney and the mitogenic effects of growth factors in VSM and mesangial cells. A deficiency in the renal production of 20-HETE is associated with the development of hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. 4. In summary, the available evidence indicates that CYP metabolites of AA play a central role in the regulation of renal, pulmonary and vascular function and that abnormalities in this system may contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
1. The possibility that the endothelium-derived hyperpolarising factor (EDHF) in the rat hepatic artery is a cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid was examined in the present study. In this preparation, acetylcholine elicits EDHF-mediated relaxations in the presence of the nitric oxide (NO) synthase and cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NOARG) and indomethacin, respectively. 2. 17-Octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA, 50 microM), a suicide-substrate inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases responsible for the production of 5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12- and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), had no effect on acetylcholine-induced relaxations in the presence of L-NOARG (0.3 mM) plus indomethacin (10 microM). Furthermore, 5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12- and 14,15- EETs failed to relax arteries without endothelium in the presence of L-NOARG plus indomethacin. 3. Proadifen and clotrimazole, which are inhibitors of several isoforms of cytochrome P450 mono-oxygenases, inhibited acetylcholine-induced relaxations in the presence of L-NOARG plus indomethacin. The concentration of acetylcholine which caused half-maximal relaxation was about 3 and 30 times higher in the presence than in the absence of clotrimazole (3 microM) and proadifen (10 microM), respectively. The maximal relaxation was reduced by proadifen but not by clotrimazole. Proadifen (10 microM) also inhibited acetylcholine-induced hyperpolarization in the presence of L-NOARG plus indomethacin. 4. In the presence of 30 mM K+ plus indomethacin (10 microM), acetylcholine induced an L-NOARG-sensitive relaxation mediated via release of NO. Under these conditions, proadifen (10 microM) shifted the acetylcholine concentration-response curve 6 fold to the right without affecting the maximal relaxation. Clotrimazole (3 microM) was without effect on these responses. The relaxant actions of the NO donor, 3-morpholino-sydnonimine, were unaffected by proadifen (10 microM). 5. The relaxant effects of the opener of ATP-sensitive potassium channels, levcromakalim, were abolished by proadifen (10 microM) and strongly attenuated by clotrimazole (3 microM). Proadifen (10 microM) also abolished the hyperpolarization induced by levcromakalim (1 microM). 6. The lack of effect of 17-ODYA on relaxations mediated by EDHF, together with the failure of extracellularly-applied EETs to produce relaxation, collectively suggest that EDHF is not an EET in the rat hepatic artery. It seems likely that inhibition of ion channels in the smooth muscle rather than reduced EDHF formation in the endothelium offers a better explanation for the actions of the cytochrome P450 inhibitors proadifen and clotrimazole.

Abstract
Possible mechanisms of cytochrome P450 self-inactivation during catalytic turnover have been considered. Two ways of hemoprotein inactivation are so far known. The first, studied extensively by many authors, is the formation of active substrate intermediates, capable of modifying heme and apoenzyme. The second way, revealed quite recently and resulting from uncoupled cytochrome P450-catalyzed monooxygenase reactions, is yet to be clarified. Briefly, it involves formation of hydrogen peroxide in the hemoprotein active center, which interacts with the enzyme associated Fe2+, thereby generating hydroxyl radicals that bleach the heme and modify the apoenzyme. This mechanism operates with substrates and cytochrome P450 forms with partially coupled monooxygenase reactions, thus causing the formation of hydrogen peroxide as a byproduct.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450BM-3 preferentially oxidized fatty acids with terminal double or triple bonds to the omega-2 hydroxylated fatty acids rather than, respectively, to the epoxide or diacid metabolites. The enzyme is inactivated during catalytic turnover of long, terminally unsaturated fatty acids but not by the analogous medium-length fatty acids. Enzyme inactivation by 17-octadecynoic acid and 16-hydroxy-17-octadecynoic acid is due to alkylation of the prosthetic heme group to given an adduct tentatively identified as N-(2-oxo-3-hydroxy-17-carboxyheptadecyl)protoporphyrin IX by its chromatographic and spectroscopic properties. Catalytic turnover of 17-octadecenoic acid also results in heme modification. Fatty diacid monoethyl thioesters are introduced as a new class of irreversible inhibitors that exploit the omega-2 oxidation specificity of cytochrome P450BM-3. Catalytic oxidation of the monoethyl thioesters of dodecanedioic and hexadecanedioic acids results in enzyme inactivation and formation of the parent diacids as metabolites. Limited tryptic digestion of the enzyme after incubation with the monoethyl thioester of [14C]hexadecanedioic acid shows that the inactivating agent binds covalently to both the heme and flavin domains. This finding, and the observation that glutathione prevents inactivation of the enzyme by the monoethyl thioesters, indicate that a diffusible metabolite, probably the sulfoxide, is responsible for enzyme inactivation. The strong preference for omega-2 allylic or propargylic hydroxylation over terminal pi-bond oxidation is opposite to the usual cytochrome P450 pattern and requires that the enzyme actively suppress terminal pi-bond oxidation. The inference that the enzyme binds and sequesters the terminal carbon in a lipophilic pocket is consistent with the crystal structure of the hemoprotein domain of cytochrome P450BM-3.

Abstract
omega-oxidation is regarded as the major pathway for the catabolism of leukotriene B4 (LTB4). To determine how LTB4 omega-hydroxylase is modulated in inflammatory bowel disease, we investigated the kinetic characteristics of this enzyme in 10 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), nine with ulcerative colitis (UC) and eight healthy control subjects. After incubating polymorphonuclear leukocytes with various concentrations of 3H-labeled LTB4, omega-oxidation products were separated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the radioactivity was measured by a liquid scintillation counter. The apparent Vmax values were significantly higher in both disease than in healthy control subjects, although the difference between CD and UC was insignificant. There was no difference in the apparent Km values. And the Vmax/Km ratios of patients with CD were significantly higher than that of healthy control subjects. It is suggested that LTB4 metabolism is activated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and that the modulation of this enzyme activity has an important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
The effects of three aryl acetylenes, 1-ethynylpyrene (EP), 2-ethynylnaphthalene (EN) and 3-ethynylperylene (EPE), upon the metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) by microsomes isolated from rat liver were investigated. These aryl acetylenes all inhibited the total metabolism of BaP. Formation of BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol and BaP tetrol products by microsomal preparations from rats that had been pretreated with 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) were preferentially inhibited. The effects of EP upon the metabolism of BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol by microsomes from rat liver were also studied. This aryl acetylene strongly inhibited the formation of BaP tetrols from BaP 7,8-dihydrodiol by liver microsomes both from untreated rats and from rats pretreated with 3MC, but enhanced the conversion of the BaP dihydrodiol into other metabolites.

Abstract
The role of clofibrate-inducible cytochrome P-450 IVA1 in the metabolism of endogenous lipids in both rat liver and kidney microsomal fractions has been investigated. 20(omega)-hydroxyarachidonic acid has been identified as a major metabolite after incubation with both tissue fractions and the structure confirmed by mass spectrometry. The arachidonic acid 20-hydroxylase activity is inducible by clofibrate in both liver and kidney, indicating that cytochrome P-450 IVA1 is probably the enzyme responsible for this activity. In addition, the kidney exhibited higher rates of arachidonate 20-hydroxylase activity than the liver (in both control and induced states). Although leukotriene B4 was also hydroxylated in the 20-position in both liver and kidney, clofibrate induction resulted in a decrease (approximately 50%) in hydroxylase activity. In addition, the absolute level of leukotriene B4 20-hydroxylase activity in both tissue homogenates and by purified cytochrome P-450 IVA1 in a reconstituted system, was 2-3 orders of magnitude lower than the corresponding activity for lauric acid and arachidonic acid as substrates, indicating that the leukotriene was not the preferred substrate for this enzyme. Computer modelling of the conformational geometries of the above three potential cytochrome P-450 IVA1 substrates have shown that both lauric and arachidonic acids adopt a compact, 'hairpin' structure that are almost superimposed on each other, thereby rationalizing why they are relatively good substrates for this isoenzyme. By contrast, leukotriene B4 adopts a more bulky geometry than the two fatty acids, thereby providing a coherent structural reason why it is a poorer substrate for the cytochrome P-450 IVA1 isoenzyme.

Abstract
The microsomal fraction of mouse liver homogenate showed NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenase activity involved in the conversion of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid to 15-ketoeicosatetraenoic acid, which was determined quantitatively by HPLC assay. This enzyme, tightly bound to membranes and relatively stable, possessed apparent values of Km of 8.3 microM and Vmax of 2.8 nmoles/mg.min in the oxidation of 15-HETE, and gave an optimum pH of 9.8. Additionally, the enzyme, not susceptible to the inhibition by indomethacin and showing a similar cosubstrate specificity between NAD and NADP, utilized other hydroxylated eicosanoids as substrates, based on HPLC analyses.

Abstract
The microsomal fraction from Vicia sativa L. cv. Septimane contains a cytochrome P-450-dependent lauric acid omega-hydroxylase that is inactivated in a time-dependent, pseudo-first-order manner when the microsomes are incubated with 11-dodecynoic acid. The rate constant for the inactivation is approximately 4.3-4.8 X 10(-3) s-1. In contrast, the olefinic analog 11-dodecenoic acid is primarily a time-independent inhibitor of the omega-hydroxylase. 1-Aminobenzotriazole, 3-phenoxy-1-propyne, and 3-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-1-propyne, mechanism-based inactivators of cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, and 9-decenoic acid, a mechanism-based inactivator of the lauric acid in-chain hydroxylase, are at best poor inactivators of the omega-hydroxylase. Conversely, cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase is only slightly affected by concentrations of 11-dodecynoic acid that completely inactivate the omega-hydroxylase. 11-Dodecynoic acid is thus a potent, relatively specific, inactivator of the V. sativa lauric acid omega-hydroxylase.

Abstract
During a 2-min incubation of leukotriene A4 (LTA4) with human liver microsomes, 1.7 mol% was converted into leukotriene B4 (LTB4). The reaction was dependent on protein concentration, time, and substrate concentration, was not supported by heat-inactivated microsomes, and did not require NADPH. Kinetic analysis of the reaction revealed apparent Michaelis-Menten type behavior (app Km approximately 20 microM). Production rates varied widely among three patients examined. Piperonyl butoxide, propanethiol, and cyclohexene oxide (1 mM) inhibited LTB4 formation by microsomal LTA4-hydrolase by 52, 40, and 60%, respectively. The latter two compounds were shown not to inhibit cytosolic LTA4-hydrolase activity. The activity of microsomal and cytosolic LTA4-hydrolase was decreased in the presence of 100% O2 by 45 and 64%, respectively. Direct chemical ionization mass spectrometry was used to obtain a mass spectrum of 50 ng of underivatized synthetic LTB4 free acid and show that this spectrum is identical with that of 10 ng of the product isolated from LTA4 hydrolysis by human liver microsomes. The authenticity of the biologically generated LTB4 was confirmed by functional characterization in a receptor displacement assay. Displacement of [3H]LTB4 from the high affinity receptors of LTB4 on human neutrophils revealed KD50 values of 8.2 and 5.1 nM for human liver microsome derived and synthetic LTB4, respectively. The nearly two-fold higher KD50 of the microsomally generated LTB4 is suggested to result from an epimeric mixture of the active 5(S),12(R)- and the less active 5(S),12(S)-dihydroxy-6,14-cis-8,10-trans-eicosatetraenoic acid.

Abstract
Circulating neutrophils were investigated in 15 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 15 with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 15 healthy volunteers. Dose-response curves for chemotaxis in Boyden chambers were analysed for sensitivity to leukotriene B4 (LTB4), its 20-hydroxy-LTB4 (20-OH-LTB4) and 20-carboxy-LTB4 (20-COOH-LTB4) catabolites, and 5- and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Positive controls included: complement 5a (C5a), formy-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine (f-Met-Leu-Phe), and casein. Control chemotaxis test were performed at concentrations yielding optimal responses in leucocytes of healthy volunteers. Chemotaxis to suboptimal concentrations of LTB4 1.0 and 3.2 nmol/l, and 5-HETE 316 nmol/l, was markedly depressed in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (CIBD). Analyses of individual dose-response curves revealed an underlying decreased sensitivity to LTB4 in 11 out of 30 patients, to 5-HETE in 10 out of 30 patients with a corresponding decrease of median sensitivity to LTB4 and 5-HETE in both CD and UC. Peak responses to LTB4, 5-HETE, f-Met-Leu-Phe, and casein were identical in the three groups tested, whereas the C5a values were significantly depressed in both groups of patients (p less than 0.05). The potency of LTB4 exceeded that of 5-HETE by a factor of approximately 100 whereas 20-OH-LTB4 was nearly as potent as LTB4. 20-COOH-LTB4 and 15-HETE did not activate chemotaxis of human neutrophils. These findings are suggestive of a competitive inhibition of receptors with heterogeneity for LTB4 and 5-HETE.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Human polymorphonuclear granulocytes (PMN) metabolize exogenous [3H]leukotriene B4 (LTB4) into 20-hydroxy- and 20-carboxy-[3H]LTB4. The conversion was enhanced at acidic pH values (pH 6.0-7.0). Sonication of purified PMN and subcellular fractionation by differential centrifugation showed that major LTB4-hydroxylase activity was associated with the microsomal fraction (105,000 g pellet). In contrast to intact cells, LTB4-hydroxylase activity within the microsomal fraction revealed optimal activity at neutral pH and was inhibited by a wide range of divalent cations. There was a strict requirement for the presence of suitable electron donors such as NADPH. Heterocyclic nitrogenous bases, such as imidazole and pyridine, inhibited the LTB4 conversion induced by intact PMN as well as by their microsomes. These observations combined with the spectrophotometric analysis (carbon monoxide dithionite-reduced difference spectrum) supported the assumption that LTB4-hydroxylase resembled a cytochrome P-450 enzyme. The LTB4-hydroxylase within human PMN was not identical with the cytochrome P-450 of rat liver; hepatic microsomes only showed minute conversion of LTB4.

Abstract
The formation of LTB4 and its omega-oxidation products 20-hydroxy- and 20-carboxy-LTB4 from exogenous [14C]arachidonic acid (AA) by neutrophils from 12 psoriatic patients and 10 healthy controls was investigated. Only a slight difference was detected in the mean amount of [14C]LTB4 produced. In contrast, the amounts of [14C]omega-oxidation products obtained from psoriatic PMN were 2.4-fold higher than the amounts from PMN of healthy controls. We conclude that in vitro, psoriatic PMN synthesize more LTB4 from exogenous AA than do PMN of healthy individuals and due to an efficient omega-oxidation system, the net release of LTB4 in both groups appears to be similar.

Abstract
LTB4 and its omega-oxidation products may be rapidly, sensitively, and specifically quantitated by the methods of solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which are described in this chapter. Although other techniques, such as radioimmunoassay or gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, may be utilized for quantitative analysis of the lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid, only the technique of reversed-phase HPLC can quantitate as many as 10 metabolites in a single analysis, without prior derivatization. In this chapter, we also reviewed the chromatographic theory which we utilized in order to optimize reversed-phase HPLC analysis of LTB4 and its omega-oxidation products. With this information and a gradient HPLC system, it is possible for any investigator to develop a powerful assay for the potent inflammatory mediator, LTB4, or for any other lipoxygenase product of arachidonic acid.

Abstract
The effect of anthralin and its oxidation products danthrone and anthralin-dimer on the production of 5-lipoxygenase products (5-HETE, leukotriene B4, omega-oxidized LTB4) by Ca-ionophore A 23187-stimulated human neutrophils has been studied in vitro. Anthralin exhibited dose-dependent inhibitory activity showing 50% inhibition at 7 microM with 10(7) neutrophils. Inhibitory effects strongly depended upon cell densities and maximal inhibition occurred at low cell concentrations, whereas inhibitory rates of anthralin were low at high cell densities. Inhibition of leukotriene production persisted after washing of anthralin-treated neutrophils. Also, with increasing amounts of arachidonic acid as substrate only slight changes of inhibitory activity were detected, indicating a noncompetitive way of action. In addition to the inhibition of leukotriene-production, the formation of omega-OH-LTB4 from LTB4 as well as omega-COOH-LTB4 from omega-OH-LTB4 was inhibited with IC50 (half maximum inhibition concentration) near 4.4 microM and 2.2 microM, respectively. In contrast to anthralin, both metabolites--danthrone as well as anthralin-dimer--did not show any effect on leukotriene production and omega-oxidation even at high concentrations (up to 70 microM and 44 microM, respectively).

Abstract
The hepatic cytochrome P-450 isozymes that catalyze omega- and (omega - 1)-hydroxylation of lauric acid are specifically inactivated in vitro but not in vivo by 10-undecynoic acid. The lack of in vivo activity may result from rapid degradation of the inhibitor by beta-oxidation. Strategies for the construction of fatty acid analogues that retain the ability to inactivate fatty acid hydroxylases but are resistant to metabolic degradation have therefore been sought. Fatty acid analogues in which the carboxylic acid group is replaced by a sulfate moiety, or in which two methyl groups are placed vicinal to the carboxylic acid group, have been found to inactivate lauric acid hydroxylases in vitro and in vivo without causing time-dependent inhibition of ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation or N-methyl-p-chloroaniline N-demethylation.
